[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1427696, member: 1656"] Late to the game but perhaps irrelevant. IMHO you are over-gunning yourself. I'd start with a 270 or 30-06. Such large, heavy recoiling rifles are not only unpleasant but better suited for well experienced shooters not so likely to develop bad habits because of them. I've been shooting 30 years and I limit myself to the 300WM without a brake. I don't shoot nearly as much 300WM as I do any other smaller caliber. For elk I use 300WM and 338 Edge, but that's 600 yards plus, if I were shooting <500 yards known I'd have a smaller rifle. [/QUOTE]
